WAWARSING — Chalk up another perk for Ellenville if the Nevele gets a casino license.

Resort owner Michael Treanor promised he’d rehabilitate and allow public use on all five miles of rail trail owned by the Nevele if they get gaming. Trail owned by the Nevele stretches from the Ellenville line to the Sullivan County border, and passes a waterfall.

That agreement, however, could fall by the wayside if gaming isn’t approved for the Nevele, Treanor said. Since the rail trail site is covered under the mortgage, Treanor said it would be up to the mortgage lender to decide on public use of the trail if the Nevele is foreclosed upon.
